MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

The year gone by was marked by significant challenges faced by the nascent global economic recovery in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Escalation of the geopolitical conflict and the ensuing sanctions led to the worsening of supply chain pressures, which were expected to ease post the pandemic. Commodity, energy, and food prices shot up substantially amidst heightened volatility, exacerbating inflationary pressures across advanced economies (AEs) and emerging market economies (EMEs) alike. For most of the year, the global economy continued to grapple with multi-decadal high inflation and slowdown of growth, leading to aggressive monetary policy tightening on a global level, and a heightened risk of recession. Governments and central banks across economies had to strike a balance between fiscal policy and monetary policy to stoke growth, while restoring price stability and alleviating the cost-of-living pressures.

Towards the latter part of the year, as heightened interest rates started to affect consumption, the pricing pressure started exhibiting softness, prompting central banks to moderate the size and rate of pricing actions. Nonetheless, global growth is expected to decelerate during 2023. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts global growth to decline to 2.8% in 2023, from 3.4% growth in 2022, before rising to 3.0% in 2024 . Global inflation is expected to fall from 8.7% in 2022 to 7.0% in 2023 and 4.9% in 2024, but will still be above the pre-pandemic (2017-19) levels of about 3.5%

In March 2023, the world economy had a bad scare when the aggressive interest rate tightening manifested itself in the form of turmoil in the banking system in some AEs. However, the risk from the events was successfully staved off through quick responses by the respective governments. Continued rate hikes following the event showcases the confidence of the central banks in their economies and their ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Overall, global economic activity remains resilient amidst the persistence of inflation at elevated levels, turmoil in the banking system, tight financial conditions, and lingering geopolitical hostilities.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

The Wire & Cable industry in India is estimated to have grown in low teens in FY23 to Rs. 680-730 billion in size, contributing to 40-45% of the Indian electrical industry. Sectors like Power, Railways, Infrastructure, Oil & Gas, Telecom, Real Estate, Renewables, Defence, Automobiles, etc. are the largest demand drivers for the industry. Organised players command a lion’s share of the market, at roughly 70%, while unorganised players largely dominate the rural geographies. With commodity prices on a downward trajectory from the decadal high levels at the start of the year, the increase in revenue was largely driven by volume growth, supported by the depreciation of the Indian rupee against the US dollar. Robust demand from various end-user sectors such as infrastructure, power distribution, railways, real

estate, and renewable energy, coupled with government stimulus packages and structural reforms led to the outperformance in volume growth.

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS:

Oppurtunities:

  • Rising demand for the EHV cables with growing EPC infrastructure projects, where the Company faces less competition.

  • Government’s focus on Infrastructure developments such as roads, railways, ports, housing is increasing and is expected to create demand for electrical goods.

  • With formalisation of economy and rising base of aspiring customers, the demand for branded goods and organised companies is increasing.

  • Reviving demand from sectors such as metro rail, fertilizers, steel, cement, IT and pharmaceuticals.

  • Increasing urbanization is expected to drive the demand for housing sector, thereby, driving the demand of wires.

  • Structural demand for more and efficient T&D infrastructure.

  • Increasing renewable energy generation causing demand to rise for T&D for power evacuation.

Threats:

  • The global economic slowdown and disruptions in trade and sectors.

  • Volatility in exchange rates and prices of key raw materials.

  • Increasing competition in the wires and cables industry.

  • Fast-changing technology and constant need for upgradation.

SEGMET WISE PERFORMANCE

The company operates in single segment of Wires and Cables. The turnover of the company has increased significantly to Rs. 27214.70 lakhs in current financial year as compared to Rs. 15911.56 lakhs in the preceding financial year.

OUT LOOK

The Company is positive about the growth prospects of the Wires & Cables (W&C) industry in the near to mid-term. With the government’s push towards manufacturing and infrastructure, the real estate being in its upcycle, and the economic climate favourable, the W&C industry is poised for accelerated growth in the near term. the Company is in a strong position to reap the benefit of the expected growth. The demand for W&C industry is expected to be driven by factors such as expansion and modernisation of power transmission and distribution infrastructure, upgradation and expansion of the railway network, increased investments in metro railroads, smart grid initiatives,

28

Delton Cables Limited

and development of smart cities. In addition to catering to the demand from these opportunities, Delton will look to drive growth by focusing on the twin opportunities of import substitution and that from rural geographies. The Government’s emphasis on ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ has led to an increase in investment in sunrise sectors such as Renewables, Defence, and Electric Vehicles. These sectors have traditionally depended on imported cables for their requirements.

The rapid rise of the organized sector and the government’s focus on investment in infrastructure and development projects would promote large-scale growth across sectors, such as infrastructure, power, telecom, transmission and distribution, manufacture, real estate, engineering, and automotive. Growth in renewable power generation, expansion and revamping of Transmission & Distribution (T&D) infrastructure, increasing investments in metro railways and smart grid projects and growth in the data center sector will also contribute to a robust demand for wires and cables in India. Increasing urbanization and commercialization are expected to bolster investments in the real estate industry and drive the demand for wires and cables.

RISKS AND CONCERNS:

Higher inflation remains a challenge and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) increased the repo rate by 250 basis points in FY 2022-23 to tame inflationary pressures. As a result, India’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate subsided to 4.25% (provisional) in May 2023 against 4.70% recorded in April 2023. Further, the RBI approved international trade settlements in Indian Rupees (INR) to promote the growth of global trade with an emphasis on exports from India and to support the increasing interest of the global trading community.

Sharp increase in commodity prices could lead to increase in cost of finished goods impacting the affordability and consumer sentiment, Hyper competitiveness is normal, but it becomes a risk in case it leads to irrational behavior in the market in terms of pricing and other trade practices.

The management periodically reviews the risk and suggests steps to be taken to control and mitigate the same through a properly defined framework. In line with the new regulatory requirements, the Company has formally framed a Risk Management Policy to identify and assess the key risk areas, to monitor and report compliance and effectiveness of the policy and procedure.

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM AND THEIR ADEQUACY

The Company has a well-framed internal control system commensurate with the size and nature of its business. These internal controls ensure safeguarding of assets from unauthorised use or disposition, proper recording and reporting of all transactions and compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. The internal control systems are reviewed and modified continually to keep up with the changes in business environment and statutory requirements.

The framework is monitored by the internal audit team of the

Company. The Audit Committee of the Board is periodically apprised of the internal audit findings. The Audit Committee reviews the efficacy and effectiveness of the internal control system, takes corrective actions and suggests measures for strengthening it. The Company has a robust Management Information which forms an integral part of the control mechanism.

DISCUSSION ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

During the year under review, the Company achieved Revenue from operations of Rs. 27214.70 lakhs as compared to Rs. 15911.56 lakhs in the previous financial year. Further, the Company has earned profit after tax and exceptional items of Rs.57.75 lakhs in the current financial year as against profit of Rs. 76.61 lakhs in the previous financial year.

MATERIAL DEVELOPMENTS IN HUMAN RESOURCES / INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS FRONT, INCLUDING NUMBER OF PEOPLE EMPLOYED

Human capital is the most essential part of the Company. The Company keeps promoting a collaborative work environment where all the employees feel safe and a part of the Company. The Human Resources policies of the Company are aimed at attracting, nurturing and retaining talent in a constantly evolving business environment while ensuring trust, transparency and teamwork amongst its employees.

The Company recognizes the importance of human resources in realising its growth ambitions and believes in nurturing talent within the organization to take up leadership positions. During the year Company continued to maintain healthy and cordial relationship with its employees.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Members of

Delton Cables Limited

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the Standalone Financial Statements of Delton Cables Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2023, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the “standalone financial statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, (“Ind AS”) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2023 and its profit, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SA”s) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.

be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.
Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Adoption of new tax regime under Section 115BAA of the Income Tax
Act, 1961(as described in Note 50). Recoverability of unutilized tax losses
included under deferred tax assets.
The Company during the year made an assessment and have decided
to opt for the new tax regime under Section 115BAA of the Income Tax
Act, 1961. The section provides a domestic company with an option to
pay tax at a rate of 22% (effective rate of 25.168%). Minimum Alternate
Tax (MAT) is not payable / adjustable under the said scheme. Accordingly
the Company during the year reversed deferred tax asset relating to Mat
Credit Entitlement of Rs. 1016.41 lakhs from its books of accounts.
Further the Company recognised previously unrecognised deferred tax
asset relating to tax losses to the extent that it has become probable
that future taxable proft will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
(Refer Note 7 of the fnancial statements).
The analysis of the recoverability of such deferred tax assets has been
identifed as a key audit matter because the assessment process involves
judgement regarding the future proftability and the likelihood of the
realization of these assets, in particular whether there will be taxable
profts in future periods that support the recognition of these assets. This
requires assumptions regarding future proftability, which is inherently
uncertain. Accordingly,the same is considered as a keyaudit matter.
Principal audit procedures performed:
Obtained and analysed the future projections
of taxable profts estimated by management,
assessing the key assumptions used, including
the analysis of the consistency of the actual results
obtained by the various segments with those
projected in the previous year.
We further obtained evidence of the approval of
the budgeted results included in the current year’s
projections, and the reasonableness of the future
cash fow projections and the consistency of those
projections with those used in other areas of
estimation such as those used for assessing the
recoverability of assets.
Tested the completeness and accuracy of the tax
losses recognized as deferred tax assets.
Assessed
the
disclosures
made
by
the
management in this regard.

Delton Cables Limited

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to the following matters in the Notes to Standalone Financial Statements:

  1. Note No. 52 relating to Charges or Satisfaction yet to be registered with ROC beyond the Statutory Period allowed.

  2. Note No. 54 regarding the transactions with Struck off companies. The company has an amount receivable of Rs. 13.85 lakhs from Sir Shadi Lal Distilleries and Allied Industries Limited as at March 31, 2023.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder’s Information, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management’s Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.

This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate

46

Delton Cables Limited

to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financial statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

  2. (a) We have sought and obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit.

Annexure ‘’A’’ to Independent Auditors’ Report of even date on Financial Statement of Delton Cables Limited

Referred to in paragraph 1 (f) under “Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements” section of our report to the members of Delton Cables Limited of even date

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Delton Cables Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2023 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial control. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to these financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to these financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to these financial statements included obtaining an understanding of such internal financial controls, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting with reference to financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to these Financial Statements

A Company’s internal financial control with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Standalone Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

A Company’s internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these financial statements includes those policies and procedures that:

(1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

(2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

(3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Standalone Financial Statements.

49

Delton Cables Limited

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls With Reference to Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to these financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanation given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system with reference to these financial statements and such internal financial controls with respect to these financial statements were operating effectively as at 31 March, 2023, based on the internal control with reference to these financial statement criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of

Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

  • it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company’s normal operating cycle;

  • it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;

  • it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or

  • it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as noncurrent.

Liabilities

A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

  • it is expected to be settled in the Company’s normal operating cycle;

  • it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;

  • it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or

  • the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

Current liabilities include the current portion of non-current financial liabilities. All other liabilities are classified as noncurrent.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

Operating cycle

The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents. Based on the nature of operations and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle being a period of 12 months for the purpose of classification of assets and liabilities as current and non- current.

(ii) Foreign currency transactions and translations

Functional and presentation currency

The management has determined the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates i.e., functional currency, to be Indian Rupees (Rs.). The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest lakhs upto two decimal places, unless otherwise stated.

Transactions and Balances

Monetary and non-monetary transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency of the Company at the exchange rates at the date of the transactions or at an average rate if the average rate approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.

(Rupees in lakhs, except for share data and if otherwise stated)

Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities remaining unsettled on reporting date are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on reporting date. Gains/(losses) arising on account of realisation/settlement of foreign exchange transactions and on translation of monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Foreign exchange gains / (losses) arising on translation of foreign currency monetary loans are presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss on net basis. However, foreign exchange differences arising from foreign currency monetary loans to the extent regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs are presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss, within finance costs.

(iii) Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place:

  • In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

  • In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to/ by the Company.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

  • Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

  • Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

The Company measures financial instruments, such as, investments , at fair value at each reporting date. Also, fair value of financial instruments measured at amortised cost is disclosed in Notes.

(iv) Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Financial assets

Recognition and initial measurement

All financial assets are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.

Classification and subsequent measurement

(Rupees in lakhs, except for share data and if otherwise stated)

Classification

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, the Company classifies financial assets in following categories:

  • Financial assets at amortised cost

  • Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

  • Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

  • A financial asset being ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:

  • The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and

  • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are Solely Payments of Principal and Interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

A financial asset being ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:

  • The asset is held within the business model, whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets.

A financial asset being equity instrument is measured at FVTPL.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL.

Subsequent measurement

Financial assets at amortised cost

These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses, if any. Interest income and impairment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Financial assets at FVTPL

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest income, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Derecognition

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Impairment of financial assets (other than at fair value)

The Company makes allowance for doubtful trade receivable and contract assets using simplified approach , significant judgement is used to estimate doubtful accounts as prescribed in IND AS 109 . In estimating doubtful accounts historical and anticipated customer performance are considered. Changes in the economy, industry, or specific customer conditions may require adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts recorded in financial statements. This is done on the basis of company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

(Rupees in lakhs, except for share data and if otherwise stated)

Write-off

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the counterparty does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

Financial liabilities

Recognition and initial measurement

All financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value minus, in the case of financial liabilities not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the liability.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL.

A financial liability is classified as FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Financial liabilities other than classified as FVTPL, are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Derecognition

The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.

The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on modified terms is recognised at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

(vi) Share capital

Equity share capital

Issuance of ordinary shares are recognised as equity share capital in equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new equity shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

(vii) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprises of cash at banks and on hand, cheques on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(viii) Property, plant and equipment

Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

62

Delton Cables Limited

NOTES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

(Rupees in lakhs, except for share data and if otherwise stated)

The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises: (a) its purchase price, including import duties and nonrefundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates; (b) any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate component of property, plant and equipment.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of property, plant and equipment (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment) is included in the Statement of Profit and Loss when property, plant and equipment is derecognised. The carrying amount of any component accounted as a separate component is derecognised, when replaced or when the property, plant and equipment to which the component relates gets derecognised.

Subsequent costs

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as separate assets, as appropriate, only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss at the time of incurrence.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values and is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment, is provided on straight-line method at the rates and in the manner provided in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Depreciation has been charged based on the following useful lives:

Depreciation has been charged based on the following useful lives:
Asset Head Useful life in years
Factory Buildings 10-30
Plant and Machinery 15
Furniture & fxtures 10
Offce Equipment 5-6
Vehicles 8-10
Computer & other IT Assets 3

The useful lives have been determined based on internal evaluation done by management and are in line with the estimated useful lives, to the extent prescribed by the Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, in order to reflect the technological obsolescence and actual usage of the asset. The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset.

Depreciation is calculated on a pro-rata basis for assets purchased/sold during the year.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed by management at each reporting date and adjusted prospectively, as appropriate.

Capital work-in-progress

Cost of property, plant and equipment not ready for use as at the reporting date are disclosed as capital work-in-progress.

(Rupees in lakhs, except for share data and if otherwise stated)

(ix) Investment Property

Property that is held for Long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the Group, is classified as Investment Property. Investment Property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.

Investment Properties are depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives. The useful life has been determined based on technical evaluation performed by the management’s expert.

(x) Intangible Assets

Recognition and measurement

Other intangible assets that are acquired are recognised only if it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of assets can be measured reliably. The other intangible assets are recorded at cost of acquisition including incidental costs related to acquisition and installation and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any.

Gain or losses arising from derecognition of an other intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the other intangible asset and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.


Loss when the asset is derecognised.
Particulars Useful life in years
Goodwill 10
Computer Software 4

Subsequent costs

Subsequent costs is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure on other intangible assets is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, as incurred.

Amortisation

Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives of 3 years using the straight-line method. Amortisation is calculated on a pro-rata basis for assets purchased/ disposed during the year.

Amortisation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted prospectively, if

appropriate.

Intangible assets under development

Cost of intangible assets under development as at the reporting date are disclosed as intangible assets under development.

(xi) Leases

  • i. As a lessee

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-ofuse asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct cost incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-to-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful life of right-of-use asset is determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

64

Delton Cables Limited

NOTES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

(Rupees in lakhs, except for share data and if otherwise stated)

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments from a change in an index or rate. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in the profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero. The Company presents right-of-use asset that do not meet the definition of investment property as a separate line item and lease liabilities in “other financial liabilities” in the Balance Sheet. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use asset and lease liabilities for short term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less, leases of low value assets and leases with no written agreement. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

ii. As a lessor

When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all the risk and rewards incidental to the ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease, if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of the assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset. If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company applies Ind AS 115 “Revenue from contract with customers” to allocate the consideration in the contract. The Company recognizes lease payments received under operating lease as income on a straight line basis over the lease term as part of “Other Income”.

(xii) Inventories

Raw Materials, Components, Loose Tools, Stores and Spares are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost is determined on a moving weighted average basis.

Work-in-progress and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. Cost is determined on a moving weighted average basis.

Stock-in-trade are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on a moving weighted average basis. Stock of scrap material has been valued at net realisable value.

(xiii) Impairment - non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication of impairment exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash generating units (CGUs).

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Such a reversal is made only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

(xiv) Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Employee benefit liabilities such as salaries, wages and bonus, etc. that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at an undiscounted amount expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Post-employment benefit plans

Defined contribution plans

The Company pays provident fund contributions to the appropriate government authorities. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefits expense when they are due.

Defined benefit plans

Defined benefit plans of the Company comprise gratuity.

The Company has an obligation towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees. The plan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee’s salary and the tenure of employment. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service. The gratuity plan of the Company is unfunded.

The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period. The defined benefit obligation is calculated by actuary using the projected unit credit method.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.

The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation. This cost and other costs are included in employee benefit expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in “other equity” in the Statement of Changes in Equity and in the Balance Sheet.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from settlement or curtailments are recognised immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss as past service cost.

Other long-term employee benefits

i. Compensated absences

Accumulated leave which is expected to be utilised within the next 12 months is treated as a short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.

Accordingly, benefits under compensated expenses are accounted as other long-term employee benefits. The Company’s net obligation in respect of compensated absences is the amount of benefit to be settled in future, that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and previous years. The benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The obligation is measured on the basis of an actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.

(Rupees in lakhs, except for share data and if otherwise stated)

ii. Others

The Company’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than post-employment benefits is the amount of benefit to be settled in future, that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and previous years. The benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The obligation is measured on the basis of an actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.

(xv) Provisions and contingent liabilities and assets

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Contingent liabilities and assets

Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

Contingent assets are possible assets that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company.

(xvi) Revenue recognition

The Company earns revenue primarily from selling of Cables and switchgear items

Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company recognizes revenue on satisfaction of the performance obligation by transferring the promised goods and services mentioned in the contracts with the customers.

Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for volume discounts, performance bonuses, price concessions and incentives, if any, as specified in the contract with the customer. Revenue also excludes taxes collected from customers.

The Company recognizes revenue for a performance obligation satisfied at point in time after satisfaction of the performance obligation. In case where the outcome of a performance obligation cannot be reasonably measured but the Company expects to recover the costs incurred in satisfying the performance obligation, the revenue is being recognized only to the extent of the costs incurred until such time that it can reasonably measure the outcome of the performance obligation.

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by nature of goods and service.

Contract assets are recognised when there is excess of revenue earned over billings on contracts. Contract assets are classified as unbilled revenue (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms.

Unearned and deferred revenue (“contract liability”) is recognised when there is billing in excess of revenues.

Interest income on financial assets (including deposits with banks) is recognised using the effective interest rate method.

(Rupees in lakhs, except for share data and if otherwise stated)

Export Benefits

Export entitlements are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the right to receive credit as per the terms of the scheme is established in respect of exports made and when there is no significant uncertainty regarding the ultimate collection of the relevant export proceeds.

(xvii) Expenditure

Expenses are accounted for on the accrual basis and provisions are made for all known losses and liabilities.

(xviii) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for intended use. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing cost includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.

(xix) Income tax

Income tax expense comprises of current tax and deferred tax. It is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current tax

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any relating to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates enacted at the reporting date.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis .

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for

financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets unrecognised or recognised, are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised / reduced to the extent that it is probable / no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the probability of deferred tax asset.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Minimum Alternative Tax (‘MAT’) credit entitlement under the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 is recognised as a deferred tax asset when it is probable that future economic benefit associated with it in the form of adjustment of future income tax liability, will flow to the Company and the asset can be measured reliably. MAT credit entitlement is set off to the extent allowed in the year in which the Company becomes liable to pay income taxes at the enacted tax rates. MAT credit entitlement is reviewed at each reporting date and is recognised to the extent that is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. MAT credit entitlement has been presented as deferred tax asset in Balance Sheet. Significant management judgement is required to determine the probability of recognition of MAT credit entitlement. Refer Note 50.

(Rupees in lakhs, except for share data and if otherwise stated)

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets levied by the same tax authorities.

(xx) Earnings per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its equity shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding, for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares, which comprise convertible preference shares and share options granted to employees.

(xxi) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker is considered to be the Board of Directors who makes strategic decisions and is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

(xxii) Recent Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS)

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 31, 2023, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 by issuing the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023, applicable from April 1, 2023, as below:

  1. Ind AS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements-

The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. Accounting policy information, together with other information, is material when it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions of primary users of general purpose financial statements. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.

  1. Ind AS 12 – Income Taxes –

The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12 (recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.

  1. Ind AS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors-

The amendments will help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition of a change in accounting estimates has been replaced with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty”. Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.

Some of the Company’s borrowings have been contracted at floating rates of interest, which resets at short intervals. Accordingly, the carrying value of such borrowings (including interest accrued but not due) approximates fair value.

  • The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, other current financial assets and other current financial liabilities, approximates the fair values, due to their short-term nature. The other non-current financial assets represents bank deposits (due for maturity after twelve months from the reporting date), security deposits, Insurance values etc., the carrying value of which approximates the fair values as on the reporting date.

There has been no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 for the years ended 31 March 2023 and 31 March 2022.

Valuation technique used to determine fair value

The fair values for loans were calculated based on effective interest rate method using a current lending rate.

All of the resulting fair value estimates for unlisted equity securities, where the fair values have been determined based on present values and the discount rates used were adjusted for counterparty or own credit risk.

Valuation processes

The finance department of the Company includes a team that performs the valuations of financial assets and liabilities required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. This team reports directly to the Senior Management. Discussions on valuation and results are held between the Senior Management and valuation team atleast once every quarter in line with the Company’s quarterly reporting periods.

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as the Company generally invests in deposits with bank with high credit ratings assigned by domestic credit rating agencies. The loan represents security deposits given to suppliers, employees and others. The credit risk associated with such deposits is relatively low.

The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate.

The Company’s Management has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Company’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company’s review includes market check, industry feedback, past financials and external ratings, if they are available, and in some cases bank references. Sale limits are established for each customer and any sales exceeding those limits require necessary approval.

Majority of the Company’s customers have been transacting with the Company from many years, and no impairment loss has been recognized against these customers. In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are reviewed according to their credit characteristics, including whether they are an individual or a legal entity, their geographic location, industry and existence of previous financial difficulties.

As per Ind AS 109, the Company makes allowance for doubtful trade receivable using simplified approach , significant judgement is used to estimate doubtful accounts as prescribed in IND AS 109 . In estimating doubtful accounts historical and anticipated customer performance are considered. Changes in the economy, industry, or specific customer conditions may require adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts recorded in financial statements. This is done on the basis of company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. Based on the business environment in which the Company operates, management considers that the trade receivables (other than receivables from government departments) are in default (credit impaired) if the payments are more than 365 days past due however the Company based upon past trends determine an impairment allowance for loss on receivables outstanding for more than 365 days past due and the probability of recovery determined by the competent management.

(ii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial assets. The Company’s approach to manage liquidity is to have sufficient liquidity to meet it’s liabilties when they are due, under both normal and stressed circumstances, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under credit facilities.

Liquidity risk results from the Company’s potential inability to meet the obligations associated with its financial liabilities, for example settlement of financial debt and paying suppliers. The Company’s liquidity is managed by Company Treasury. The aim is to ensure effective liquidity management, which primarily involves obtaining sufficient committed credit facilities to ensure adequate financial resources and, to some extent, tapping a range of funding sources.

(iii) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises two types of risk namely: currency risk and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

A. Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s borrowings with floating interest rates.

Exposure to interest rate risk

The Company’s interest rate risk arises majorly from the term loan carrying floating rate of interest. These obligations exposes the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The exposure of the Company’s borrowing to interest rate changes as reported to the management at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

(ii) Post-employment obligations

a) Gratuity

The Company provides for gratuity for employees as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement / termination is the employee’s last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days’ salary multiplied with the number of years of service. The gratuity plan is a funded plan and the Company makes contributions to recognised funds in India. The Company does not fully fund the liability and maintains a target level of funding to be maintained over a period of time based on estimations of expected gratuity payments.

(iii) Defined contribution plans

The Company also has certain defined contribution plans. Contributions are made to provident fund, employee pension scheme and employee’s state insurance scheme for employees as per regulations. The contributions are made to registered funds administered by the government. The obligation of the Company is limited to the amount contributed and it has no further contractual or any constructive obligation.

(v) Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to changes in the weighted principal assumptions is:

  • (i) Changes in defined benefit obligation due to 1% increase / decease in discount rate
Particulars 31 March 2023 31 March 2022
a) Defned beneft obligation 241.51 243.62

(iii) Changes in defined benefit obligation due to 1% increase/decease in mortality rate, is negligible.

The above sensitivity analysis are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumption the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.

(vi) The major categories of plan assets are as follows:

Particulars March 31, 2023 March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022 March 31, 2022
Unquoted in % Unquoted in %
Investment funds
Plan assets with recognised gratuity trust which has taken
a gratuity policy with the Life Insurance Corporation of India
(LIC)
(0.12) 100% (0.11) 100%
Total (0.12) 100% (0.11) 100%

(vii) Risk exposure

Through its defined benefit plan, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are defined below:

Investment risk The present value of the defned beneft plan liability is calculated using a discount
rate determined by reference to yield on government bonds. If plan liability is funded
and return on plan assets is lower than yield on the government bonds, it will create
a plan defcit.
Interest risk (discount rate risk) A decrease in the bond interest rate (discount rate) will increase the plan liability.
Mortality risk The present value of the defned beneft plan liability is calculated by reference to
the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants. The mortality table used for
the purpose is Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2006-08) ultimate table published by
the Institute of Actuaries of India. A change in mortality rate will have a bearing on
the plan’s liability.
Salary risk The present value of the defned beneft plan liability is calculated with the assumption
of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase
of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to
determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan’s liability.

The Company ensures that investment positions are managed within an asset/liability matching (ALM) framework that has been developed to achieve long term investments that are in line with the obligations under employee benefit plans. Within this framework, the Company’s ALM objective is to match assets to the Gratuity obligations by investing in Plan assets with recognised gratuity trust which has taken a gratuity policy with the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) with maturities that match the benefit payments as they fall due.

The Company actively monitors how the duration and the expected yield of the investments are matching the expected cash outflows arising from the employee benefit obligations. The Company has not changed the processes to manage its risk from previous periods.

The Company believes the LIC policy offers reasonable returns over the long-term with an acceptable level of risk.

The plan asset mix is in compliance with the requirements of the local regulations.

(viii) Defined benefit liability and employer contributions

The Company has agreed that it will aim to eliminate the deficit in defined benefit gratuity plan over the coming years. Funding levels are monitored on an annual basis and the current agreed contribution rate as advised by the LIC. The Company considers that the contribution rates set at the last valuation date are sufficient to eliminate the deficit over the coming years and that regular contributions, which are based on service costs, will not increase significantly.

The expected maturity analysis of gratuity is as follows:


regular contributions, which are based on service costs, will not increase signifcantly.
The expected maturity analysis of gratuity is as follows:
